Granatelli Feugo programmer
I have a Granatelli Feugo programmer. After a visit to the Ford dealer and they updated my stock program (with the tune removed) the Feugo won't work anymore. I contacted Granatelli and they said they stopped supporting them. I just got this in April 2008. They said they would trade me for a Big G, but I don't want one of them.
Ok, long story short. I have heard the Diablo Sport and the Fuego are the same. Anyone else here if this is true or not?
Thanks

The fuego shure looks like a Predator to me. I would call or shoot diablopsort an e-mail as I suspect its really their tuner. You could also find a local diablosport shop that does custom tuning and give them a call. I'll bet they can get you up and running or at least shed some light on the subject.

First the Fuego's were Predator clones. Diablo sued them for copying them, so the Fuego guts became SCT units with a special screen and the Feugo case. AFAIK, all tuners say you should return the vehicle to stock programming to prevent exactly what's happened. With a new OEM program in the PCM the Fuego thinks your truck is a different truck and is going to refuse to program it. Sorry to say this, but you're probably out of luck - and if you can presude another tuning company to support it they normally charge for this because its your fault for not restoring to stock tuning before bringing the vehicle in.

I am willing to pay to have someone support it. Do you know who might do this?

Okay, I wasn't clear. I thought you meant they removed (overwrote) your PCM when you said "with the tune removed". I see now you meant you removed it, not them.
Let me see if I'm clear on this. Granatelli still sells th Feugo on their site. So, when they say they stopped supporting it do they mean they're dropping the product, or they don't offer to upgrade units with new PCM codes?
Personally, I'd drop like a hot potato on eBay and get a more widely used product (Granatelli doesn't made a lot of their stuff, they just rebadge a lot of things) by a company with active support.
